Guiding Spirit of the Hawk
Archival prints and greeting cards of a red-tailed hawk with wings spread. After a friend’s brother passed away, she asked if I could paint her a red-tailed hawk to make prints from for her grieving family. She sent me a video of a red-tailed hawk that had visited her during her loved one’s passing. This is the result of that thoughtful request. Understandably, the red-tailed hawk is a symbol of power, courage and strength, as well as one of strategy and as a guiding spirit for people. The hawk’s red tail represents positive energy and regeneration.
Choose from 5” x 5” open edition and 8" x 8” and 12” x 12” limited edition size prints. Limited edition prints are on bamboo paper and come numbered, titled and signed by artist, either with or without a mat and frame. Open edition prints are not numbered, but are titled and signed by the artist and can also be framed. Unframed prints come with an archival backer and ship flat.
Framed prints are matted with an archival off-white mat and backer, under glass, and live-edge frame is completely ready to hang. Mat and frame adds approximately 8” to each side; For example, an 8" x 8” print that is framed has final dimensions of approximately 16” x 16.” Frame dimensions are approximate due to the variability of widths in the live-edge wood; No two frames are alike. Artist-crafted frame is made from rescued slab wood, wood that is normally burned as sugaring wood or bonfires. Frame is finished in three coats of Vermont poly-whey varnish, a USDA certified biobased product. Note: photos of framed prints include a different example print, but are to show my mat and frame style.
Inside of cards are left blank, ready for your personalization. Cards measure approximately 5” x 5” and are printed on recycled white cardstock. A recycled white envelope is included with each card.

The red-tailed hawk has rebounded by 177% in the last 40 years, thanks to the 1972 DDT ban in the United States.
